Abstract
In addition to the above, the thermal model is also solved analytically -based on the actual parameters used in the experiment-leading to the computation of the ground thermal diffusivity, the volumetric heat capacity and the thermal resistance of the GHE. The possible errors and drawbacks of the whole method are then discussed and finally a complete set of guidelines is provided to the field Engineer for estimating the ground thermal properties from a single test, rendering the use of the geological data of the side unnecessary.
